Mattia Binotto assumes leadership of Audi F1 project
Audi has reshuffled its Formula 1 management following the departure of Jonathan Wheatley. Mattia Binotto will now serve as team principal in addition to his existing project leadership roles.
Audi has announced a management restructure for its Formula 1 program. Jonathan Wheatley has resigned from his position at the Audi Revolut F1 Team, effective immediately, citing personal reasons.
In response to the departure, Mattia Binotto will expand his current portfolio as Head of the Audi F1 Project to assume the role of Team Principal. This consolidation places the management of both the project's strategic development and trackside operations under Binotto’s direct supervision.
Audi CEO Gernot Döllner acknowledged Wheatley’s contribution to the team's initial phase. The company maintains its long-term objective of becoming a competitive force capable of challenging for the World Championship by 2030, with management planning further organizational adjustments to support this goal.
